Ive got some goodridge braided hoses fitted on the front of the 316. It had its mot on monday and one of the things it failed on was that the hoses are apparently touching the wheels. When i fitted them and bolted the calliper back the hose would curl up with no way of avioding it. We checked the clearance on full lock to lock and all seemed fine.

Could anyone whos got them fitted let me know how there hoses sit, is the mot place just trying too pull a fast one (wouldnt be the first time).

I'll get some pics later when i get in from work.

The only way I could see it would touching the wheel is if you have to much brake pipe coming through,if thats the case,try pulling it back through the inner wing a bit and as Jon mention,zip tie it up.
If the pipes not to long then it sounds like their pulling a fast one to me.
